X-Ray Science - From X-Ray Scattering by Soft Matter to X-Ray Lasers and Imaging

X-ray Science is a comprehensive introduction into characterization techniques for surfaces and bulk materials involving X-rays in physics, crystallography, materials science and chemistry. It starts with the basic properties of X-rays and methods to generate X-rays. Various X-ray diffraction methods are discussed together with computed tomography, x-ray fluorescence, photoelectron spectroscopy and a section on soft x-rays for biological samples.
